Information for Friday:
Funeral services for Estrellita will be on Friday, April 21, at 2:30pm at the Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Huron. Per family tradition, the visitation begins after the funeral service on Friday at 4pm. Visitation will be at the Alpena Community Building and will continue throughout the evening. The burial service will be held in Alpena at 2pm on Saturday. At the request of the family, anyone wishing to attend the burial service should dress in appropriate formal attire.
There will be a district wide early release for students and staff on Friday, April 21, at 12:30pm to allow students and staff to attend the services. The district will provide a bus for students to attend the services as well. Parents must provide permission for students to ride the bus by sending a note to the office, sending an email to Mr. Kolousek, or calling the high school office at 539-9311. We do ask that students who want to attend the funeral let us know by the end of day on Thursday.

Download the Student and Parent Portal apps for your smart phones. This allows students and parents to access items like assignments, grades, attendance, student schedules and report cards.
Another feature is Notifications. You can choose thru your phone's settings to receive notifications and they are customizable thru the app. If you click/tap on the person icon in the top right corner, a menu appears and you choose "Settings". Within Settings, you choose "Notification Settings". In here you can customize what notifications you want to receive!
An important notification, especially this time of year with winter road conditions, is the Attendance Notification. Once a teacher marks your child Absent, you can receive a notification to let you know. It could also be a good reminder to call the office to let them know your child will not be in school that day and we can then update it.
Congratulations Spartans!
